Approximate travel date!

My adoption worker says I will tentatively be traveling Dec. 6 and tent. coming home the 20th! PLEASE PRAY! Those dates would be as close to perfect as I could ask for.

I will get to spend Thanksgiving with all of my family, Thurs. with my best friend, her family and her parents, then Sat. with my parents (going to my sis. on Thurs.) and all my children, I'll be doing the cooking Sat.

My best friend's aunt, in FL, died yesterday, so I will be staying with her children Friday, coming home to my house Fri. eve, having Thanksgiving Sat., putting up our tree Sun. and going back to my friend's house late Sunday or very early Mon. morning since her hubby goes to work at 4am. I'll stay until the children get on the bus Wens. am, then I have Jonathan's Preschool Special Education meeting at the local elementary school that afternoon. We have a homeschool field trip to the Buffalo Aquarium on the 5th (if I can handle it), and I may be leaving the 6th! And in that time I have to get all the Christmas stuff ready, I have Christmas dinner at my house for everyone.

When I come back with Anah (YEAH!!), I have to get Christmas shopping. I won't have any money til I get back, because I don't know for sure how much I need and I need to have available every cent in case I need it in VN. So, after a 19-23hr. flight home with my daughter, who won't understand me, I get to fight jet lag the next day and do my Christmas shopping between Dec. 21-24! Please pray I have the energy to get it done. Of course, if my jet lag is really kicking me in the pants, I can always shop at Walmart in the middle of the night ;o) . As long as what I need to get is there.

Then after Christmas we have to go to PA in Jan. to drop PJ off at college and have Christmas with Bob's family and introduce them to their new niece/granddaughter/sister. Did I mention I'm glad I homeschool? ;o)
